House of Commons

An improvement?
The mixture of criticism, goodwill and hype that surrounded the election of the 44th President of the US, Barack Obama, who was also the first black holder of that office has now been seen again, well almost.

The election of the 157th Speaker of the House of Commons, John Bercow, who is also the first Jew to hold this office, has been just a bit over the top.

With Obama we were told that he was going to do this and that and it would be better, much better. He even let slip that he might bomb Pakistan. If he does get around to that then no doubt it will be done much better than the Republicans would have.
